The previous introduction of Mac OSX so many powerful features and a variety of use skills, then the Apple system has no headache? I am afraid the download problem of the App Store has always been a perennial problem that bothers many users, why sometimes it is possible, why not the following? Probably because of the network problem, probably because of the system bug, may be because there is no flip wall, specific reasons we are not clear. The most common is the following scenario, the reality is that you go to the purchase page to try again is useless.



here I accumulate on the network of a variety of common methods and some of their own experience, to teach you a few ways to solve the App store can not download.
first, to modify DNS, System Preferences-network-advanced, in the DNS tab, click the plus sign below, add 114.114.114.114 or 8.8.8.8 two addresses. Then select Apply.




Two, the second way is, but when we download an app fails, Launchpad does not show the app icon. But if we come to the application folder, we will see the app icon that has not yet been downloaded and shows the progress bar.


when we see this icon, it means that the download connection line is still there and we need to exit the app Store at this point. by double clicking on this icon, we will most likely find that it will start downloading and eventually finish. (That's how I did it.)

Third, open the App Store debug mode. Apple should have encountered a problem with the App Store, so it has its own debug mode. first find the terminal in the Launchpad Utility tool. we need to enter in the terminal:
    1. Defaults write Com.apple.appstore Showdebugmenu-bool true
    2. in this way, we can turn on debug mode. When you need to restart the APP Store, you'll see the Debug option on the menu bar. This option clears the cookie cache and resets the app, which is the action we need to try.



four, the App Store repair methods are various, it also has a bug-like place, although not necessarily effective, but a lot of people respond to this problem, that is, the App store when the error prompt, If you click OK, then there will be no lauchpad inside the icon with a progress bar, if you do not click OK, you can find the icon to display the progress bar in Lauchpad, if you long press the icon and delete it, then go into the app Store, it will be downloaded normally. If the above methods are not resolved, you can try this last approach.


at present I know the method only these four kinds of, hope can help everyone, these methods sometimes have to try more than a few times, sometimes it will be a while may be effective, the effect is not absolute. Many times may be the Apple official reason, the APP store download will have the problem, if the method is not valid, the suggestion wait to see, because the system releases the update peak error probability also increases, hoped this blog can help everybody solves the App Store error problem.
